The Open Tennis Championships

The open era in tennis began in 1968, when the Grand Slam tournaments, such as Wimbledon, abandoned the longstanding rules of amateurism and allowed professionals to compete. What emerged next was a fiercely competitive open tennis championship circuit for both men and women – creating some of the world’s top tennis stars.
